There is a weird enthusiasm emanating from the staff of Jamba Juice. I'm not too sure about it.\n\nThis was my first experience with what is a pretty popular franchise in the US. The \"double J\" serves juice, smoothies, steel cut oatmeal (they make a big deal about this), frozen yogurt drinks, wraps and sandwiches. You can add protein, narcotics or vitamins to your drink for some extra coin, and they have quite a lot (and I mean a lot) of options on their menu. I was staring blankly at their board for about 70 seconds before my mind could formulate an order.\n\nI got a pre-boosted Protein Berry Workout\u0099 which consists of banana, strawberry and soy or whey protein. With the aforementioned weird enthusiasm, the cashier took my order, my name, flung some cups around, and jumped all over the next customer. He then dashed to the blenders, all whirring away in unison. It was kind of crazy in there. Well, not that crazy. But a notch above your typical wait for blended drinks. Strangely, the server was was apologizing like a Canadian (on speed) as he handed out each order; it seemed they were about 50 seconds behind.\n\nAnyway, you don't care about any of this. The smoothie was 'meh'. A little chalky, but it tasted decent. I might come back and try something froyo based, but until then my corporate smoothie purveyor of choice remains Jugo Juice.\n\nObligatory Title Pun: I wanna JAMB it with you.\n\nMenu Readability: There is like, a shit-tonne of stuff up there. \n\nNeed to mention: Their smallest size is called 16. Medium is called original. WTF guys.\n\nWhat this place teaches me about myself: I would pay extra for a narcotics boost."^^ . . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "8"^^ .
